There's no point in repeating what the above people said, so I'll just focus on what wasn't said yet.

I won't use a BS in PVP anytime soon with this loss.
My, my, could this possibly be one of the GOOD side-effects ? Yes, yes it is.
It was about time much more people started also flying smaller ships, dammit.
Akita, you do mostly PVE or industry/trade as you usually states and so maybe you are overlooking something.
In 0.0 they will continue using very big stuff as they have very big earnings, no doubt it wont change anything.
For low sec PVP, like FW. People is already very careful to use BSs or even BCs, most fleets are cruiser down size.
Even with the old insurance, the T2 fittings for a BS with Trimarks rigs is very high, now losing + 26 Mi on the ship itself will make it worst.
So people already use small ships, the insurance chance wont have this good effect.
You fail to understand her point. Take it from a pirate, (not a very good one, but hey, who's counting?) smaller ships are more fun. BS fights take too long, and aren't nearly as spontaneous. Cruiser and frigate fights require slightly more skill, and are actually quite fun.
So, BS fights = Boring
Frigate + Cruiser fights = Fun
Therefore, no issue with losing lots o isk in battleships.
And again, people used to pvp with battleships back in 06', when you'd lose a hell of a lot more than 20 million isk on fittings and insurance loss.
EDIT: Also, Tippia is right.
Actually in 06 it always seemed that any pvp player I saw/ran into was always in a Cerberus or a Vaga.
Though iyou are right in saying that more people were willing to do it with a bs than there are now.
Hacs however were a hell of a bit more expensive back then and suffered from the lack of any sort of real payout when insured.
And this brings us back to the 'so called' nerf and how I have a hard time seeing it as such. Especially when you consider how much cheaper a T1 BS is now days when compared to years ago. I'd be happy to get anything back at all really. And even moreso due to alternative of those who fight with and sometimes lose t2 ships.
